Ingredients
- 8 oz udon noodles
- 1/2 cup hummus
- 1 cup broccoli
- 1 bell peppers
- 1/4 cup blue cheese
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
Instructions
- Step 1: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, then add 8 oz udon noodles. Cook for 6-8 minutes, or until al dente, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Drain thoroughly and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process, then set aside. Tip: Rinsing ensures the noodles don’t become mushy when mixed with the sauce.
- Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1/2 cup broccoli, cut into 1/2-inch florets, and 1 bell pepper, sliced into 1/2-inch strips. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender-crisp and slightly charred at the edges. Add 2 tbsp soy sauce, stirring to coat evenly, and cook for 1 additional minute until fragrant. Tip: Avoid overcrowding the pan—cook in batches if needed to maintain even browning.
- Step 3: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked udon noodles with the sautéed vegetables and 1/2 cup hummus. Use tongs or a spatula to toss until the noodles are evenly coated in the hummus and sauce, ensuring no dry spots remain. The mixture should feel slightly sticky but not clumpy.
- Step 4: Divide the noodle mixture between two serving plates. Crumble 1/4 cup blue cheese over the top, ensuring even distribution. Serve immediately while the noodles are warm and the cheese is still slightly firm. Tip: For a creamier texture, mix the blue cheese with a teaspoon of olive oil before crumbling to prevent clumping.
